Chapter 497: Chapter493-The Battle Begins

?

The two forces faced off, their terrifying mana fluctuations forming massive ripples that spread outward between them. The void in front of the two sides was torn apart, creating enormous rifts that seemed capable of devouring everything.

From a distance, the stronghold of The Celestial and the invaders from the alternate dimension appeared to face the Rebel Alliance and the forces of the Azure Kingdom across a pitch-black void, like opposing sides separated by an endless, desolate universe.

Mages below the celestial god level continuously retreated, unable to withstand the aura of death emanating from the clash of these opposing forces. Even the faintest ripple of energy that reached them was enough to obliterate them entirely.

At this moment, standing at the forefront of The Celestial's forces, the Serpent of the End swayed its massive tail and lunged toward the Lord of Stars.

"Lord of Stars, today, we settle this once and for all!"

With a thunderous roar, accompanied by an overwhelming mana tide, the Serpent of the End's voice echoed across the battlefield, shaking many mages to the point of spitting blood. They stared in horror as the colossal serpent loomed closer, its venomous killing intent reflected in its enormous eyes.

Surrounded by radiant stellar energy, the Lord of Stars stood as though enveloped by a swirling cosmic galaxy.

"A mere defeated beast dares to challenge me?" he said coldly.

The Lord of Stars glanced at the giant ape King Kong and sneered,

"And you, brute, come together. It would be too dull otherwise."

King Kong's eyes blazed with fury at the insult. Beating its chest with fists like hammers, it unleashed deafening booms that reverberated through the air before charging at the Lord of Stars.

"Lord of Stars, this time, I will tear you apart!"

Two of The Celestial's divine beasts were now on the offensive, their overwhelming power shaking the heavens and the earth.

Yet the Lord of Stars remained calm, his hands coming together as countless rays of starlight converged from all directions, forming a radiant stellar armor around him. The armor amplified his aura, emanating an indomitable and destructive power.

He threw a punch, shattering the cosmic expanse. Black cracks filled with terrifying energy fissured outward, hurtling toward his foes.

Sensing the ferocity of the Lord of Stars' attack, both King Kong and the Serpent of the End grew wary and launched their counterattacks.

Boom!

Holy Fist Impact!

Corrosion Ray!

The two divine beasts unleashed their strongest attacks to nullify the Lord of Stars' strike. Their clashing magic tore through the battlefield, shaking the heavens and earth. The shattered starry expanse expanded even further, devouring surrounding space in chaotic turbulence.

The Lord of Stars then engaged the two divine beasts in a ferocious melee. Their combat, at the Primordial God level, was utterly devastating. Each collision was as if a galaxy were being destroyed and a new universe born.

As the fight grew increasingly intense, on another front, the War Goddess faced off against the celestial gods of the alternate dimension.

Her power was overwhelming, cutting through their forces like a divine blade. Many celestial gods fell in a single strike, their blood spraying into the air, creating a surreal rain of crimson.

The pungent stench of blood filled the battlefield, instilling fear in the celestial gods who watched the War Goddess as though she were death incarnate.

The War Goddess understood that the current situation was dire. Their best chance of survival was to eliminate as many celestial gods as possible, ensuring their forces wouldn't be entirely overwhelmed at this tier of combat.

However, her relentless assault soon drew the attention of the celestial gods dispatched by The Celestial, who began to encircle her.

"War Goddess, is bullying old relics all you're good at? Face us if you dare, and we'll see your so-called reputation end here today!"

Bright King's icy gaze locked onto the War Goddess, his killing intent filling every corner of the battlefield.

The celestial gods surrounding Bright King, all at the Primordial God level, exuded terrifyingly oppressive auras.

Though a single Primordial God might not be her match, being surrounded by so many formidable celestial gods put the War Goddess under immense pressure.

Still, she saw a silver lining. At least her comrades wouldn't have to face these elite Primordial Gods.

With that thought, she decided on a strategy of evasion, engaging in a defensive battle while retreating.

As this part of the battlefield stabilized, Caesar, now a vanguard for The Celestial, narrowed his eyes and locked onto Venus.

"Venus, you still have a chance to surrender. If you submit to The Celestial, I can petition for your life to be spared. Together, we could have a wonderful future," Caesar said persuasively. "Your father could be freed, and those you care about pardoned by The Celestial. Why resist? It's nothing but a path to death."

His words carried an insidious allure. Having survived by surrendering to The Celestial, Caesar had managed to preserve his life. To him, this was a blessing, and he wanted to ensure Venus didn't meet a tragic end.

"Caesar, what happened to your grand vows to stand against The Celestial? Have you forgotten the sacrifices of our Rebel Alliance predecessors? The Celestial is our greatest enemy. Bowing to them will only lead to a miserable death!"

Venus' voice was cold, her disdain for Caesar clear. Once, she had respected him as an honorable man, but his recent actions couldn't compare to Owen in the slightest.

Hearing her rejection again, Caesar's expression turned darker, a crazed glint in his eyes.

To him, Venus was an irreplaceable beacon of hope. But her repeated refusals had driven him further into despair.

"Why, Venus? Is it because of Owen? How am I inferior to him?" Caesar shouted, his voice tinged with madness.

"From the moment you plotted against my father, you became nothing more than a petty villain. I'm sure you orchestrated the time-space trap that ensnared us, didn't you?"

Venus' accusation pierced through Caesar's facade, her tone fierce. Reflecting on past events, the coincidences felt deliberate, pointing to Caesar's betrayal.

Her certainty ignited her fury.

"Why, Caesar? My father, the God of Light, did nothing but help you. Why did you betray

him?"

Her voice cracked with anger, the memory of her father's sacrifices fueling her wrath. Caesar had once been abandoned by all, surviving only through her father's painstaking efforts. Yet, he had repaid that kindness with treachery.

Caesar flinched but quickly regained his composure, his tone venomous.

"What does it matter if you know? The Celestial is invincible! No matter what, you will be

mine!"

Caesar charged toward Venus with maniacal determination.

"Don't worry. Once I've subdued you, I'll erase your memories and create a new, beautiful

reality for us!"

Venus recoiled in disgust, her rage boiling over.

Enraged, she met Caesar's charge head-on. The two clashed like unstoppable meteors, their

collision creating waves of magical destruction.

Both were strong-willed and uncompromising, their battle-though only at the celestial god tier-was as devastating and brutal as any Primordial God clash.
